Brad Wilkerson vs. Juan Pierre
« Topic Start: September 13, 2005, 03:25:08 PM »
Pierre's stats do not measure up even if you substitute doubles for stolen bases and consider caught stealing outs. Pierre'smodified OPS is about .700, Wilkerson's is about .750 (if you account for caught stealing).

Wilkerson has 137 SO in 574 appearances
Pierre has 40 in 623.
If Wilkerson had as many appearances as Pierre, he would have 149 SO. Over a season wilkerson would have about 120 strikeouts more than Pierre.

A dispartity that large in SO has to count for something as runners are not moved or scored from third.  Couple that with pierre's 76.5% steal percentage, I think that makes up for .050 Ops points.  In a stadium like RFK, pierre's game is not affected, he might get more triples.
